Total Recorder Developer Edition is an edition of Total Recorder that allows you to integrate the capabilities of Total Recorder (sound recording, editing, processing, and playing) with other applications. With the Video Add-on, you can record from any combination of video and audio sources, including output of another audio application in Software mode.

As a stand-alone program, it has the same features as Professional Edition.

Total Recorder Developer Edition provides COM interfaces so that all of its functions can be invoked programmatically from within another program (e.g. C/C++, VB, or Java programs) or from within a script (e.g. VB Script, JavaScript, or Perl) rather than interactively. In this mode, Total Recorder can be visible or invisible depending on your needs for controlling the program.

The Total Recorder Developer Edition package contains additional documentation and sample code (C++, Visual Basic and JavaScript) for writing applications that can control Total Recorder through COM facilities.

You can obtain the source code for the symbolic language (similar to Visual Basic) that corresponds to the interface operations you performed during your current Total Recorder session. The code can be appended with other useful information you can use to write applications to control Total Recorder. This feature can greatly facilitate writing your own code to control Total Recorder Developer Edition through COM technology.

You can download a no-cost evaluation version of Total Recorder Developer Edition. The evaluation copy is a fully functional version of the program, with the exception that an audible noise will be inserted about every 60 seconds throughout each recording you make. For unlimited recording without the insertion of an audible noise, you must purchase a Total Recorder license.

Note that the Total Recorder Developer Edition License Agreement does not allow for the reselling or redistribution of the Total Recorder Developer Edition software in any way, shape, or form. Please contact High Criteria if you have any questions about the License Agreement or your rights as a purchaser.

Total Recorder Developer Edition Version 7.0 is available free of charge to purchasers of previous versions of the Developer Edition. Existing customers can download and install the new version, however you will need a V6.0 registration key (the key must begin with TRD6). Your previous registration key will not work with V6.0 or above.

You can obtain a V6.0 registration key by using the self-service registration key system. This system uses the E-mail address under which you originally purchased the product. If this E-mail address is no longer valid, then users requiring a new key should E-mail High Criteria at support@highcriteria.com. Specify the registration name and E-mail address you used when you first registered and your new E-mail address.
